I'm not sure that banning phones at school will stop kids being bullied. I didn't have a phone at school and I was bullied restlessly. To counter bullying, personally I think you need to change society, which is fat far harder than banning phones.

Holy fuck that's a lot of notifications. Buy my book, the protagonist has basically this exact energy: books2read.com/u/mKMan9

A colossal dragon appears before you, its lithely muscular body shrouded in invulnerable scales, the majesty of its size overwhelming your very senses to render you a mouse next to a bison, its eyes like twin orbs of flame and its teeth sharp as swords. It rolls over onto its back and says "weh"

My "DHS LAW ENFORCEMENT DOES NOT PEPPER SPRAY CHILDREN" tweet has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my tweet

The Evansville Press, April 10,1916

Politicians: "Better things aren't possible so stop wishing for them." Me, who firmly believes a better world is both inevitable and worth fighting for:

🧵On our revelations today about the BBC Coup and the Prescott Dossier. The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

From a Washington Post story titled "How women feel about Trump’s presidency"

Guess that the IOC is going to ban transgender women from sport before LA 2028 based on a wholesale scientific review which seems to just be from things that are not in the public domain:

"VERY masculine heart" Why do you feel the need to underline that you're VERY masculine, Jimmy?

"Outrage and betrayal" AOC on House Dem.

Gonna be real honest chief I'd rather blow my brains out than share Gemini gems with anyone

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

It's sort of interesting to me that for a lot of British journalists, "success" largely means reducing people's access to essential services

"certain AI-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff" is the kind of line which would set me on a course from which there was no returning

WE WEREN'T THE ONES WHO STOPPED FIGHTING

Imagine killing 600,000 black and brown people with a few keystrokes and not having a care in the world but one little old white lady drags you on Twitter and you spiral for a week.

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election. Go. Check. Your. Ballot. komonews.com/news/local/s...

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

The Olympics had allowed trans women to compete since the 2004 games. Out of 10s of thousands of competitors, only one trans woman ever qualified. She came last. Zero medals. Zero. Zero. Yet the far right has convinced elites they were dominating.

I wrote about the fecklessness of the Democrats ending this shutdown for my newsletter this morning. www.burnsnotice.com/what-was-the...

Locking phones up in school - the time when children are already LEAST likely to be on them - will do NOTHING to stop bullying, poor mental health, isolation, or radicalisation! It will also have ZERO impact on the rabid transphobia that’s perpetuated through the mainstream media & politics! 😖

Schumer is so cooked he's setting off the smoke alarm.

(iirc) the world added more solar capacity in 2025 than in the last decade combined. we're at or over the tipping point. solar will be used not because it's environmentally friendly but because it's cheap as fuck

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Genuinely believe with my whole heart that the stances on trans rights taken by @zackpolanski.bsky.social are contributing massively to a load of emotionally burn-out and mentally exhausted trans people having hope for the first time in bloody ages.

Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women www.teenvogue.com/story/womano...

Ok so what you need to know about these is that: BLUESKY RESETS YOUR MODERATION SETTINGS PERIODICALLY WITHOUT TELLING YOU. YOU HAVE TO CHECK ANYTIME THE SITE UPDATES BASICALLY.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

this is the best possible explanation for this photo the kids are truly alright

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

A "modest margin" when Mamdani beat his next closest challenger by 8 points in a three-person race. Trump won by just 1.5% and it was played off as a seismic realignment of American politics and culture.

they haven't got the slightest plan to fix any of this, and at some point the airport situation compounds enough that even if the shutdown ends and we get back to regular ATC staffing it's going to take weeks to unfuck things holidays are going to be a nightmare this year and it's one guy's fault

"Trump is the man responsible for it. He’s fucking with your airplanes, he’s fucking with your time, and he’s fucking with your money. He’s the reason you’re a caged animal right now. I wouldn’t want to be him if you ever get loose." and it's only going to get worse from here

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask. Cowards

I’ve been staring, somewhat open mouthed at this map all week. One of these motorways was indeed meant to roar right past my house! An absolutely fascinating map that simultaneously makes way more sense than the London we ended up with, and shows an absolutely unthinkable parallel universe.

Dibs on Alito, I think I can get him pretty far.

It's hard to get your head around this stuff unless you just stop respecting British journalism as an entire profession. Because, yes, they are in fact out here saying that being a member of the club is only criteria for whether your voice ought to be listened to or not.

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

If you catch me publishing machine-translated stuff you have my official permission to break my fingers so I'm unable to type another word ever again.

At a time when Labour are failing to deliver on one of its key promises the Guardian publishing this drivel as an “exclusive” tells you more about the Guardian’s client journalism and how desperate the Labour right has become than anything else.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕
